Episode Details

Beneath the stars so bright… you know the song. It’s the Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report for March 12, 2026, and today we’re doing it a little better than yesterday.

We start with the numbers off National Beef Wire – live cattle, feeders, hogs, corn, beans, and wheat – and talk about what it really means when the board’s bouncing but the cash index is soft and your inputs are stupid high.

From there we dig into what’s driving the crazy:

• Iran and the Strait of Hormuz turning NOLA urea into a roller coaster

• Fertilizer up 30–40%, acres shifting out of corn, guys getting “no-bid” on nitrogen

• War, fuel, and the Fed setting up the next round of food inflation

• Farm Bill 2.0 crawling through DC while 56 farm groups use the phrase “existential threat” with a straight face

• New World screwworm at the southern border, Mexican cattle shut off, and what that means for feeder supply

We wrap with a bittersweet Montana story: a ranch family sitting on a ~$21 million place that could’ve gone to developers or hedge‑fund money… and instead they just give it away so it stays a working ranch. What do you do when the next buyer isn’t a neighbor in a feed‑up pickup, it’s Wall Street?

If you’re seeing any of this on the ground – goofy fertilizer quotes, weird local cash, border fallout, or big money buying up ranches in your country – I want to hear about it.
